Himalayan Dog Chews?

[TonkaTruck28]

Tonka has LOVED these since day one. They were my saviour. They keep him busy by far the best of anything he has had. And yes when they get too small take a hammer and smash it into bits and throw it in the microwave for a few seconds and it makes a lighter fluffier "popcorn" for them!

We used to get them for Bacon all the time, and ran into one major issue. They are supposed to break down when swallowed and they don't. If its a full sized bully I wouldn't be AS concerned when swallowed but Bacon was a pup at the time. Ended up with a blockage and eventually passed it with some blood from it cutting him while passing it. They were good when he was a pup because he couldn't devour them in one sitting as he can now and they aren't cheap sober stopped getting them.

Actually [MENTION=1034]BruceP[/MENTION] doesn't remember but we got one of these for HRH a while back from the CEBR rescue "store". I wasn't overly impressed. They are messy and I was disappointed with how small it actually was when it got here. I was half afraid she might choke on it because she was so obsessed just like [MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION].

Oh no! Hmm this is concerning! She would definitely need to be supervised [MENTION=983]LariP[/MENTION]
They don't have them around here (Where I looked anyway). I ended up getting a Smartbone which is 99% digestible with no rawhide. This was made with chicken and peanut butter. And She is loving it! God I hope these are ok

I tried these with Guinness a little while back and I was grossed out by the gooey mess plus I was afraid he would break it. I read it was ok if they ingested it but didn't want to risk it...the only thing he chews that doesn't turn me into a paranoid freak are the antlers....
[MENTION=8750]KarenP[/MENTION] I would love more info on that smart bone if it works for you

[MENTION=5294]rksuski[/MENTION] the ingredients are "ok" but I just noticed they are made in China! Is that bad??

Really? I thought they were supposed to be made in Nepal? I would avoid any snacks made in China, based on poor track record.

[MENTION=1904]cali baker[/MENTION] sorry for the confusion lol the Himalayan chews are

oh, thanks for the clarification. I missed that part about the Smart Bone! [MENTION=8750]KarenP[/MENTION]

the Company Himalayan Dog Chew has a Facebook page... maybe they are the best kind?

Those are the kind that we used to give to Bacon, they claim that they are digestible but Bacon passed undigested pieces of them on too many occasions so we stopped giving them to him.

I found some that are made in USA Same ingredients. By "this & that Canine Co." Chew This Everest chew.

I would recommend the Himalayan chews. We get a big 3 pack pretty cheap on Amazon. Our bulldog and pug absolutely love these. They are their special treats when we leave or they have been real good. We were looking for a good, safe chew and our vet highly recommended these. We see a bulldog specialist vet here in San Francisco who has been around a long time so I really trust him. Every time we go to the vet we see at least 3 or 4 other bullies coming in and out lol.
